About me

Hi, I’m Lukas Canel, 34 years old, originally from Hamburg and now living in Berlin.

To me, supporting people means more than just providing professional expertise; It’s about connecting on a truly human level, with honesty and as equals.

I bring a solid clinical foundation to my work, drawn from my experience at Charité Mitte, the Sigmund Freud Outpatient Clinic in Vienna, and my current role at the PHB Ambulanz in Berlin (in both individual and group settings).

I am now using this experience to offer you a safe, flexible, and online space for whatever you are going through. Let’s take this next step together!

Ultimately, it’s all about the right chemistry between us. Feel free to reach out and drop me a message, even if you just have a few questions for now. Together, we’ll figure out what kind of support serves you best.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.

My Approach: Authentic. Individual. As Equals.

With me, you as a person and your unique personal experience are at the center of everything. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. Together, we look beneath the surface: We uncover unconscious patterns, shift stuck perspectives, and develop solutions that genuinely feel right and practical in your daily life.

You are in the right place if you want to:

  1. Navigate stress in your daily life or job, or if you are currently facing a crisis.
  2. Improve your relationships (with partners, family, or yourself).
  3. Simply understand yourself better and grow personally.

No matter your current state: We will find a path that fits you. Obviously, our conversations are completely confidential and held in a safe space.
